Absolutely spot on! This is exactly our approach at the Digital Health Interoperability Network (DHIN)- creating a neutral and collaborative space where stakeholders can come together to learn, refine, and expand upon their existing solutions. Moreso, incorporating standards into our legacy framework is the bedrock of building an enabling ecosystem. There’s quite some research pointing to digital health creating a fragmentation epidemic because we’re building first and standardizing later. Our approach is really simple: set standards from the outset to ensure interoperability and bring all relevant stakeholders together, not just to learn but also to be empowered to contribute to re-shaping policies that directly impact them.

IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM, HUMAN RESOURCES ARE VITAL Various clinical and non-clinical staff members play crucial roles in facilitating individual and public health interventions. They constitute the most significant inputs of the health system. Ultimately, the performance of healthcare systems relies on the knowledge, skills, and motivation of the individuals tasked with delivering services.

Today Anca Toma, EPF Executive Director, attended the ‘High-Level Conference on the Future EU Health Union’, organised by the Belgian Presidency of the EU. During her intervention, she outlined the importance of strengthening the European health workforce by highlighting two key reasons: 📌 Having a motivated, well-trained, and adequately supported workforce is essential for ensuring patients' access to care, enhancing patient safety, and ultimately fostering improved health outcomes. 📌 Secondly, she remarked on the pivotal role that health professionals play on the front lines in addressing future health crises. What strategies should we adopt to support health professionals in Europe? According to Anca, two approaches could be crucial: 📌 At the professional level, advocating for investment in the acquisition of skills necessary to effectively leverage emerging technologies. 📌 At the general public level, advocating for investment in health literacy initiatives to empower patients to take an active role in their care and lead them towards better treatment adherence and health outcomes. #PatientPerspective
